Business Development Intern at Blackmont Consulting
The Business Development Intern role at Blackmont Consulting is a hands-on, performance-driven position. You will be expected to take ownership of your work, operate independently, and contribute meaningfully from day one. This is not a passive or observational internship. It requires consistent effort, professional communication, and a genuine interest in business development. This is an unpaid internship. The value lies in the real-world experience, skill development, and professional network you will build throughout the programme.
Core Responsibilities
Prospect Research
- Identify organisations that may benefit from Blackmont's consulting services.
- Research industries, company backgrounds, and find the right decision-makers to approach.
Outreach & Follow-Up
- Reach out to potential clients professionally via email and other channels.
- Follow up consistently and schedule meetings when there is interest.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Proposal Development
- Contribute to the preparation of customised consulting proposals tailored to each client's needs, aligned with Blackmont's service areas.
Client Acquisition Support
- Guide a prospect from initial contact through to signed agreement and project closure, coordinating with your manager at key stages.
Tracking & Reporting
- Maintain accurate records of your outreach and pipeline.
- Submit updates and attend weekly check-in meetings with your manager.

- Attend all onboarding sessions and weekly team meetings
- Maintain regular outreach activity throughout the internship cycle
- Respond to team communication in a timely and professional manner
- Aim to close at least one project per internship cycle
- Proactively update your manager on progress and any challenges
